Introduction & Summary The Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative (HRAC) is one of two new Centers of Excellence recently approved by Portland State University (PSU). This report covers budget items for FY19, the first fiscal year of HRAC’s operation, and other items for the period covering October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019, the 12-month period following the announcement of the center.

HRAC’s goal is to help reduce homelessness and its negative impact on individuals, families, and communities, with an emphasis on communities of color. The collaborative brings together expertise and skills from across PSU’s colleges and also partners with people experiencing homelessness, advocates, service providers, policymakers, and other stakeholders.

Two advisory boards have been formed to help guide center operations, advise on research projects, and support fundraising efforts. The national board (see Appendix 1) comprises well- known researchers and experts in fields related to the center’s mission. The local board includes key stakeholders and critical partners from regional government, social services, advocacy groups, the business community, and community members with lived experience of homelessness.

HRAC co-founders have already engaged hundreds of community members in conversations, workshops, and presentations, published several papers linked to the center’s work, and presented at national conferences. The center was also mentioned in approximately 75 local and national news articles in the past 12 months (see Appendix 2). In September, HRAC released the region’s first analysis of annual homelessness numbers across the tri-county area, with information on approaches, costs, and funding sources available to address regional homelessness and housing insecurity.

Next steps include: finalizing reports and papers on HRAC’s current research projects (see report below for additional detail), identifying and securing new sources of funding, launching new research projects in areas directly related to the center’s mission, and working to understand and inform approaches to addressing homelessness and housing insecurity among the PSU community, all informed by an equity-based approach.

Background

Recent estimates show that 550,000 people across the US and nearly 14,000 people in experience homelessness on any given night (US Department of Housing and Urban Development). These are almost certainly underestimates: a count using a definition set by the US Department of Education found 21,750 school-age children experiencing homelessness in Oregon in the 2017-18 school year, and a new study by HRAC found that an estimated 38,000 people experienced homelessness at some point in 2017 in Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties. People of color suffer disproportionately higher rates of homelessness at all scales of analysis.

Page 2 PSU Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative 2019 Report

Homelessness is not just a local and national crisis that affects individual children, adults, and entire families in our local communities, but is also a major issue affecting college and university students. An estimated 10-14% of students at four-year institutions experience homelessness, according to The Hope Center at Temple University, which surveyed 43,566 students across 66 colleges and universities in 2018. Soon PSU will understand the scope of homelessness among its own students, staff, and faculty when the center concludes the university’s first survey on homelessness and housing insecurity.

HRAC’s goal is to help reduce homelessness and its negative impact on individuals, families, and communities, with an emphasis on communities of color. Related objectives, as outlined in the original proposal, are to:

● Build a research center driven by community voice and community-based research where faculty, students, and staff collaborate to conduct relevant and meaningful interdisciplinary scholarly activities in partnership with the broader community. ● Create a dynamic and powerful model for context-specific research to advance practice and policy and impact innovation in other communities locally and nationally. ● Examine and provide actionable suggestions for mitigating the effects of structural, institutional, and interpersonal racism and bias in creating and perpetuating homelessness. ● Understand how to balance present-day support for those experiencing homelessness with crafting long-term policy and programmatic solutions. ● Educate community members, reframe public discourse about homelessness, and shape public understanding and opinion about people experiencing homelessness and how to support them. ● Translate and disseminate knowledge to area, state, and national decision-makers and leaders, informing local and state decision making about policy and programs to support those experiencing homelessness now and prevent homelessness in the future.

Publications HRAC faculty and staff engaged in a number of major research projects either supported by HRAC or directly related to their work at the center, resulting in publications including a book chapter, journal articles, and a major report. Other research projects on homelessness and housing insecurity were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of specific approaches, provide best practice recommendations, and pilot innovative new approaches.

This report takes a comprehensive look at the scale of homelessness and housing insecurity experienced in the Portland tri-county area. Our goal in producing this report is to help community members understand the scope and scale of the challenges we face when addressing homelessness and housing insecurity. We examine governance options, provide cost estimates for providing housing, supports, and services, and present revenue-raising options for our local governments to address homelessness and housing insecurity. The report and associated press conference generated substantial media interest, with more than 24 articles in print, TV, radio, and online news outlets within a week of publication.

Cellarius, K., Zapata, M. A., Einspruch, E., Mulder, C., Duong, T., Tuttle, A. (2019). FUSE: People with Frequent Utilization of Public Services in Clackamas County, Oregon: Potential Service Enhancements. Portland State University.

A one-time study on the feasibility of reducing the use of high-cost public services by providing permanent supportive housing to the individuals with the highest utilization of those services. Interventions targeting individuals with frequent utilization are commonly known as FUSE: Frequent Utilization System Engagement. The FUSE model has been piloted in other cities around the country and is based on the “Housing First” concept that secure housing is the first essential step to stabilizing the personal and financial lives of individuals. This study focuses on the service system in Clackamas County, Oregon, including jails, EDs, and emergency response. It was commissioned by the Clackamas County Department of Health, Housing, and Human Services.

The Portland City Council has allotted $500,000 toward developing the Portland Street Response (PSR) pilot, a system that appropriately responds to the high number of "unwanted persons" or welfare check calls and frees up police resources to focus on preventing and solving crimes. Small teams of students and community partners trained by Dr. Greg Townley interviewed 184 people experiencing homelessness about what the PSR pilot should look like, including who the first responders should be, how they should approach individuals in crisis, what types of services and resources they should bring with them, and what types of training they should have. Following the interviews, responses were analyzed and summarized into a report by HRAC to provide guidance for this important initiative based directly on the needs and experiences of unhoused people.

Ongoing Faculty Research Projects

Hygiene and Sanitation Lisa Hawash, HRAC co-founder and Associate Professor of Practice at the School of Social Work, led a series of convenings with 30 regional stakeholders to identify how best to address the waste management and hygiene needs of people living unsheltered. Participating stakeholders include city, county, and federal government agencies; elected officials; nonprofits; community advocates; businesses; business associations; neighborhood associations; and others. This group has informed HRAC’s development of a resource guide to help the community connect with ongoing efforts around hygiene and sanitation for unsheltered populations. Hawash is also leading interviews with those experiencing homelessness and those recently housed to understand their hygiene and waste management needs.

PSU Student & Employee Survey Dr. Greg Townley, HRAC Research Director and Associate Professor of Community Psychology, worked with HRAC Assistant Director Jacen Greene and a student team to create a comprehensive survey of housing insecurity, food insecurity, and homelessness among PSU students, faculty, and staff. The survey was distributed at the start of fall term, 2019. HRAC is currently fundraising for the next step of the project, facilitating focus groups with affected students and staff to better understand their experiences, and interviewing other campus community members (e.g., faculty, librarians, and service providers) about their perceptions of and contact with students, staff, and other community members on campus who are homeless or housing insecure.

Page 6 PSU Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative 2019 Report

Changing the Narrative Dr. Maude Hines, HRAC co-founder and Associate Professor of English, together with Janet Cowal, senior instructor in applied linguistics, are studying public discourse around the term “homeless.” This research has led to strategies for convening conversations across discourse groups that engage social semiotics to draw out assumptions about this complex signifier. Their preliminary findings and these strategies were presented at the Semiotics Society of America conference in October, 2019, under the title “The Semiotics of Homelessness: a Preliminary Report from PSU's Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative (HRAC).”

Villages “Villages” are co/self-governed communities of people experiencing homelessness. “Villagers” reside in individual sleeping quarters called pods and use shared common facilities such as bathrooms and kitchens. Village model advocates say that villages can transform residents' lives, boasting high rates of transition to permanent housing, improved access to health services, and dramatically increased social capital. Research about villages should identify what is working for villagers in moving to permanent housing and meeting other basic needs; which populations are best served by villages (and which are not); and impacts on surrounding neighborhoods.

Todd Ferry, HRAC co-founder and Senior Research Associate with the Center for Public Interest Design in the School of Architecture, has been closely involved in the design and/or construction of several local villages. Since March, Ferry and HRAC colleagues have met regularly to develop evaluation questions and strategies with input from village representatives. This group has begun pilot testing surveys and interview questions with residents of Kenton Women’s Village in preparation for a larger cross-site evaluation, and has been actively working

Page 7 PSU Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative 2019 Report on developing research and design strategies toward the creation of a “how-to” guide for other organizations and communities interested in implementing the village model using lessons learned and best practices.

PSU Community HRAC secured $277,000 in state and federal funding to launch a SNAP (“food stamps”) Training and Employment Program (STEP) at PSU, to be administered by Student Life. STEP reimburses qualified expenses to deliver career and technical education to students receiving SNAP benefits. These expenses can include tuition; books; transportation to/from courses and job interviews; childcare during courses and job interviews; professional clothing; and university staff time to run the program. PSU will use the funding to serve an estimated 50 students in the pilot year, and to hire a full-time case manager and half-time administrative assistant. This is the first STEP initiative of its kind in the nation at a four-year institution, and HRAC will be working to evaluate the program and participant outcomes.

Student Summer Research Institute Over the summer, HRAC brought together 10 doctoral and masters students to advance research related to homelessness. Students reviewed cutting-edge research, examined research methods for addressing homelessness, and assisted with project planning and data collection.

Example projects included: ● Planning the center’s upcoming survey on homelessness and housing insecurity among PSU students, faculty, and staff ● Helping interview people experiencing homelessness for Commissioner Hardesty’s office to inform Portland’s proposed Street Response strategy ● Helping interview residents at Kenton Women’s Village to understand their experiences and inform areas for improvement at that and other “villages” ● Developing multimedia storytelling projects to highlight the experience of homelessness in a factual and compassionate manner

Communications HRAC engaged the regional community in several initiatives to help change the narrative around homelessness this year. The center challenged myths, offered information about basic needs resources, and created a platform for students, employees, and community members to share their insights at the Homelessness Pop-Up Booth at the Montgomery Street Fair. HRAC also developed a social media mythbusters campaign and webpage using information graphics, videos, and an online quiz. Hundreds participated, and HRAC learned common misconceptions based on the responses.

The center developed ethical storytelling guidelines with guidance from service providers and at least one member with lived experience. The guidelines will help inform a storytelling project, which includes videos about those who have experienced homelessness and service providers who are making a difference. HRAC also developed a strategic communications plan, cultivated a list of nearly 200 supporters, and launched Homelessness PDX, a quarterly about the center’s work on homelessness issues.

Press Conferences & Community Meetings HRAC faculty and staff visited with more than 100 local, regional, and national partners in the first few months of center operations. Dr. Zapata visited Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC with Interim President Steve Percy to explore possible collaborations. Dr. Zapata also visited the California Bay Area with other Portland leaders to learn about homelessness and housing interventions there.

HRAC participated in two press conferences on center reports: ● Director Dr. Marisa Zapata held a press conference with Multnomah County Joint Office of Homeless Services Director Marc Jolin on “Governance, Costs, and Revenue Raising to Address and Prevent Homelessness in the Portland Tri-County Region.” ● Research Director Dr. Greg Townley participated in a press conference held by Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, Multnomah County Chair Deborah Kafoury, Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, Street Roots Executive Director Kaia Sand, and others on “Believe Our Stories and Listen: Portland Street Response survey report.”

Future Plans

HRAC’s short-term goals include: ● Holding inaugural meetings of HRAC’s national and local advisory boards ● Finalizing a faculty membership policy and funding approach, including seed grants, grant writing assistance, and other types of support for PSU faculty engaged in related research ● Expanding engagement with Oregon’s congressional delegation on issues linked to homelessness and housing insecurity ● Analyzing the results of the PSU student and employee survey and working with internal stakeholders to develop a comprehensive strategy addressing needs identified by the survey ● Continuing to build out the center’s internal project and grant management systems and processes ● Expanding center faculty and staff if outstanding grant and contract proposals are successful ● Launching new research and awareness campaigns around “changing the narrative” to help the public better understand issues related to homelessness ● Identifying and applying to several major federal research grants ● Building on HRAC’s existing relationships with city, county, Metro, and state government agencies to develop additional funding and research partnerships

All of HRAC’s ongoing and planned research and projects will continue to be informed by a racial equity lens, a commitment to integrating lived experience and community perspectives, and a deep engagement with PSU students, faculty, and staff across departments and disciplines.
